Harford County Airport (FAA LID: 0W3) is a public airport located in the City of Churchville, in Harford County, Maryland, USA. Harford County Airport is a general aviation (GA) airport in northern Maryland that serves primarily recreational pilots. There are three runways at Harford, two grass/turf and one paved. The popular runway in the summer time is the grass runway 01/19. However, in November, the turf is closed as the grass generally remains wet and soggy over the winter months. The diagonal turf runway 14/32 is rarely used by powered pilots except during high crosswind conditions. The prevailing winds generally vary between favoring 28 and 19. The airport has a large sailplane/glider contingent and is home of the Atlantic Soaring Club. The airport serves some commercial activities, mainly sight seeing and flight training (through Harford Air Services) as well as biplane rides and hot air balloons (run by Light Flight Balloons www.fun-flying.com). In the Spring of 2012 a Skydiving company, Skydive Baltimore, moved their operations from Ridgley and started operations at the airport.
Harford Air is the sole FBO at Harford County Airport. They offer sight seeing, flight training, and aircraft rental. Their flight school provides training for the Private Pilots License, Instrument Rating, Commercial License, Flight Instructor, and Tailwheel training including ground school in the spring and fall. They have six aircraft available for rent three Cessna 172s including two 'S' models and one 'M' model, a Piper Arrow, a Bellanca Citabria, and a Cessna 162 Skycatcher.
